Debbie Guzzi Poet Free verse

Oy Vey

the joy of a toy
  twirly, squishy, bounce, bounce
   the toy joy
better than a boy
  or a boy toy
   or a cat nip toy
    shiny, squeaky, bounce pounce 
a girls toy
  how sweet, a sweet to eat, eat
   and what will the poor thing do then
    the joy toy
        oy 

a tribute to a pisher e.e. cummings
